  1. If they haven't declared bankruptcy. PP- Name one industry that CARES about a ROI 40 years from now! The timber companies care only about maintaining the same book value of their cutting lands - which is based on lumber extant.
  2. It's very much the point PP. The lawn is emblematic of most private land ownership - it's managed to maximise a single, or small group, of resources. LP with forest, ranches with cows (or elk), Iceland's private rivers with Salmon, or us with our yards. Show me one private enterprise that's managed it's lands for the benefit of the ecosystem as a whole
  3. Rope up - and end up with another massive accident?
  4. And most every other guidebook mentioned on this thread. Course $75 year is a bit much for a library, IMHO
  5. That's because first flight isn't till next year.
  6. I prefer Airborne Demolition:
  7. How much is it worth to ya?
  8. Someone spent their weekend watching labyrinth...
  9. Climbing in the Magic Island (Lofoten, Norway) - Ed Webster on the skiing side: Sierra Spring Ski Touring - HJ Burhenne (2nd BC ski guide in the US) Skiing - The International Sport (oversized 30's limited edition awesomely illustrated ski book - includes ski mountaineering) 3 of the 4 editions of Snowy Torrents
  10. While it's space saving, stashing stuff in your helmet reduces the effectiveness of the helmet. Unless you want a mask implanted in your skull. SAM Splint, Bandaids, bit of gauze, Ibu
  11. To turn the card - what does Bush stand for? We have a set of ideals the continually espouse (free markets, freedom, yada, yada) - but policy doesn't fit these often (pork farm bills, perscription drug cards, etc). When they change course they refuse to admit that. The President gives policy speaches so infrequently who knows what he actually believes (and when he does the language is so basic as to be absurd). And compared to Kerry Bush has less than half the time in public office to amass a record (Bush was elected governor in 1994 - Kerry was elected L Governor in 1982, Senator in 1984) Think of the changes in 20 years - do you really want someone who hasn't changed their opinions?
  12. Landrieu (D-LA) was the absent vote. Many members were probably sincere in their support of the ostensible purpose of the Patriot Act - but this act was rammed through in near record time - passed on Oct 25, 2001(and let's not forget the weeks before was when the Senate offices closed from the Anthrax letters) it wasn't subject to heavy scrutiny. In my mind the Bush Administration has certainly used the spirit in which the Patriot Act was passed by using it to crack down on drug offenses.
  13. Yes, we are painfully aware that we have to pay to climb where you get to go for free. Free? Hardly. Registration is around $50 a year per sled, not to mention trailers. Whoopee! We pay (in season) $15 every damn time we want to go - unless you buy the "volcano pass" bs. But wait - you get a Snowpark permit FREE! with your $50 registration! Trailers are a motor vehicle fee. Bitch at the DMV
  14. The question of course begs - how was the vote scheduled? It's not entirely implausible that the R Senate leadership would schedule a quick vote, knowing Kerry was out of time. Wouldn't be the first time either Party had done that.
  15. Black Diamond Zippo!
  16. Get a really goddamn bright neon Yellow bike jacket. Beware suburbans driven by people on cellphones. Watchout for streetcar tracks Beware the after work happy hour
  17. Yes that would be called a "Via Ferrata" If it helps they have them in places like the Dolomites, along with "Real" Climbing
  18. Senator James Inhofe - R OK "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Committee dismissed Tuesday the outrage over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. troops, saying Iraqis depicted in widely broadcast photographs probably had "blood on their hands." http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/05/11/inhofe.abuse/index.html He just doesn't get it, does he?
  19. I believe they are itty-bitty bits of sand now. Like Osama is?
  20. Your ascender will probably kill the rope before a cross loaded biner would break...
  21. It's got some decent routes. Not as crowded as Seneca. I can see why you think it's funny, but that's probably the future of climbing on the East Coast (and parts of the west).
  22. That's the Yuppie Stuff. A Southern Man drinks Speight's!
  23. Probably more useful is: 80 Mt. Adams Recreation Paved - One Lane 05/04/2004: Open to Wicky Shelter.
